Has anyone found a set of camper jacks that will not break the bank? Geez man I am seeing $300 to $400 for a pair and upwards of $1200 for a set of four. This is ludicrous considering they are nothing more than a $40 tongue jack whit a longer foot.

Check Craig's list. Most of the time when it comes to jacks you will only find old junk but sometimes there are good things to be found. also if you don't mind traveling for them you can search all the different Craigs list sites through Google just type in what you are looking for then site:craigslist.org

IF I were a good artist, I'd steer you away from those bolt-on Jacks, and toward something called "Landing Gear" which I put on my 11 1/2' Rollalong. (1963)
If the ground was very uneven they were not good, but every where else they were great and safe and nothing stuck out to be hit by other campers etc.

It was two short legs with wheels that fitted up under the rear of the Camper.
Two longer legs that stowed up over the wheel wells of the pickup, and let down n' locked when the camper was cranked off the truck.
The Crank assembly and tracks moved the camper on and off with ease.
I never thought of looking for those till tonite. If I find something I'll come back.

I purchased mine direct from Rieco. Wish I had seen Dyers first, I could have saved some cash. At any rate, I am happy with mine. I bought the heavy duty tripod style (manual) with the mounting plate for under the side overhang. The tripod feet are great for off pavement use where thing aren't always flat or hard.

I added a 15/16" deep socket with an adapter for my cordless drill to my tool kit. Makes the manual nature much less so. I still use the cranks for more control when leveling.

load locks can hold a lot of weight after I quit driving I used mine to use as temporary braces in remolding of homes where I need to support roofs and beams until I could build support under them you will probably need to modified the base of them to transfer the load better
